This document specifies the performance requirements for metal halide lamps for general lighting purposes. For some of the requirements given in this document, reference is made to "the relevant lamp data sheet". For some lamps, these data sheets are contained in this document. For other lamps, falling under the scope of this document, the relevant data are supplied by the lamp manufacturer or responsible vendor. The requirements of this document relate only to type testing. The requirements and tolerances specified in this document correspond to testing of a type test sample submitted by the manufacturer for that purpose. In principle this type test sample consists of units having characteristics typical of the manufacturer’s production and being as close to the production centre point values as possible. It can be expected that with the tolerances given in this document, the product manufactured in accordance with the type test sample will comply with this document for the majority of production. Due to the production spread however, it is inevitable that there will sometimes be products outside the specified tolerances. For guidance on sampling plans and procedures for inspection by attributes, see ISO 2859-10.

This International Standard specifies sample preparation methods for determining mercury levels in new tubular fluorescent lamps (including single capped, double capped, self-ballasted and CCFL for backlighting) containing 0,1 mg mercury or more. The intended resolution of the methods described in this standard is of the order of 5 %. Mercury level measurement of spent lamps is excluded, as during lamp operation, mercury gradually diffuses into the glass wall and reacts with the glass materials. The test method of this standard does not recover mercury that is diffused into or reacted with or otherwise incorporated irreversibly with the glass wall of discharge tubes. This standard does not contain information on measurement. Measurement is specified in IEC 62321.

This International Standard specifies the safety and interchangeability requirements, together
with the test methods and conditions, required to show compliance of LED lamps with
integrated means for stable operation, intended for domestic and similar general lighting
purposes, having:
– a rated power up to 60 W
– a rated voltage equal to or less than 50 V a.c. r.m.s. or equal or less 120 V ripple free d.c.,
– caps according to Table 1.
NOTE 1 The value of 60 W rated power is under consideration. Heat management may require lower power.
This standard shall be used for products in conjunction with ELV lighting installations.
With reference to IEC 60364-7-715, in ELV lighting installations only SELV sources are
applied. Where bare conductors are used, the maximum lamp voltage shall be 25 V a.c. or
60 V d.c.
The requirements of this standard relate only to type testing.
For lamps > 25 V a.c. or 60 V d.c., recommendations for whole production testing or batch
testing are given in IEC 60598-1 Table Q.1, column class III luminaire, column 4 or 5.
NOTE 2 Where in this standard the term “lamp(s)” is used, it is understood to stand for semi-integrated LED
lamp(s) with supply voltages as in the scope above, except where it is obviously assigned to other types of lamps.
An overview of systems composed of LED modules, lamps and controlgear is given in
IEC 62504. Supply voltage does not mean necessarily mains voltage, e.g. 230 V / 50 Hz. A
semi-integrated LED lamp can also be driven on a supply voltage with 12 V a.c. or d.c. The
control unit in the controlgear in a semi-integrated LED lamp then provides the conversion of
12 V a.c. or d.c. to a special current and voltage to power the LED inside the semi-integrated
LED lamp. Schematically, the types of LEDni and LEDsi lamps are shown in Figure 1.
